Nail in rear tire!!
I noticed a nail in my driver's side rear tire this evening. The tire pressure is fine with no active leak. Should I just go to BJ's wholesale tires for a plug or will my Audi dealer be able to do it?
Thanks

bj's but only if they can do it w/o damaging the rim... and of course, watch 'em do it.
if you plan on tracking it though, you'll need a new tire. patch work just won't cut it.

Be careful about plugs. Not all are high speed rated.
Yeah, you need to find a good shop that won't damage the wheel, but on a car capable of going this fast, you might want to look into it.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftiretech%2Ftechpage.jsp %3Ftechid%3D77">http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=77</a></li></ul>

someone will offer you $5 including shipping.
I tried to sell the OEM brake calipers from my TT (they fit all the mkIV GTIs and Jettas)...sheesh, what a bunch of losers! I thought I had them sold about 4 times, but the people would just flake off.
